DIED FROM HER BURNS

Mrs. Annie McGee Fatally Injured In A Fire In Which Her Baby Was Killed.
Mrs. Annie McGee died at her home, 2219 Jefferson Place, Saturday evening, from the effects of burns received by her clothing catching fire from a gasoline stove Friday night. She was the wife of Thomas R. McGee, a saloonkeeper, and was cooking on a gasoline stove when her clothing caught fire. She was carrying a five-month-old son in her arms at the time, and the flames spread to its clothing. The infant was burned so badly that it died a few hours afterward, as was stated in THE SUN.

Mrs. McGee was badly burned about the arms, body and legs. She suffered intense pain until her death. The last rites of the Catholic Church were given her Friday night by Rev. James Nolan, of Corpus Christi Church.

Mrs. McGee was thirty years old, and before marriage was a Miss McGary. Besides her husband she leaves two sons and a daughter.
